How To Cope with Anger While You are Grieving

Losing a loved one can be one of the most painful and stressful events in your life, and it might cause severe emotional crisis that could develop into different physical symptoms or diseases:

Anger

Despair

Guilt

High blood pressure

Headaches

Bone aches

Worsening of arthritis symptoms.

Gastritis or worsening of symptoms.

And more….

This emotional maelstrom can affect behaviour and judgement. Many patients report to me stomach pain, eating habit changes: loss or gain of appetite, intestinal upsets, sleep disturbances and loss of energy. Of all life’s stresses, mourning can seriously test your natural defense systems. Existing illnesses may worsen or new conditions may appear.

In stressful and sad times you don’t need people around you who do not support you. You need to surround yourself with loving human beings who actually care about you. Go out with them, trust them if they have proven to you that they are loyal and faithful.

Having and caring for pets like dogs, cats, birds, is another way to find comfort. I especially love cats, but others prefer dogs or birds. Some people don’t like animals and would rather care for plants. Therefore, get into planting, gardening, farming and grafting. Some of my patients have expressed their liking towards social activities like volunteering, helping others, “not being at home where there are so many memories” — they say. It is fine, but remember, sooner or later you have to face reality and stay at home. So do the volunteering for another reason such as helping others and just “not” to be at home.

Remember: After the storm, calm is restored

It is so hard to lose a loved one. I am coming upon the one year anniversary of the death of a very close family member, She died very suddenly and unexpectedly. All of the symptoms you listed I felt. The only thing that helped me was trying to care for other people and pets.

It is very difficult to cope and “go on” like many people say. The pain is there and it hurts. But there is hope. I am glad that you found a way the get through it. You can come and post again if you need to.
